Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automotive intermediate shaft transmission equipment, and relates to a tooling for press-fitting a gear and a gear shaft. Background Technology
[0002] In the current booming development of the new energy vehicle industry, the transmission case, as a core component of power transmission, directly affects the power output, efficiency, and reliability of the entire vehicle. The intermediate shaft assembly, as a key component of the transmission case, places extremely high demands on its manufacturing precision and assembly quality. Currently, intermediate shaft assemblies are often manufactured by separately producing the gear shaft and disc gear parts, and then combining them through a press-fit process. This separate manufacturing-press-fitting process can meet the special performance requirements of different parts and facilitates production processing and quality control, and is widely used in the industry.
[0003] However, to address the potential for parts to detach after press-fitting, welding the mating surfaces of the gear shaft and the gear disc has become a common practice. While the introduction of welding effectively improves the connection reliability of the components, it also brings new technical challenges. During welding, to avoid the adverse effects of the carburized layer on weld quality, the mating surface weld section is usually left uncarburized, while the rest of the component undergoes carburizing to enhance wear resistance and strength. This results in significant differences in hardness between different parts of the same component. Due to this inconsistent hardness, if the tooling positioning and guiding accuracy is insufficient during assembly, the surface of the parts can easily be damaged, causing dimensional deviations. Furthermore, it can lead to welding defects, such as weak welds and uneven weld seams, severely affecting the overall performance and service life of the intermediate shaft assembly. Therefore, developing highly precise tooling positioning and guiding technology is crucial for ensuring the quality and reliability of the intermediate shaft assembly of the new energy vehicle transmission box, and it is also an important technical issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the current new energy vehicle manufacturing field. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem that the welding of gear shafts and gear discs in the prior art leads to low assembly reliability, and to provide a tooling for press-fitting gear discs and gear shafts.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model discloses a tooling for press-fitting a gear and a gear shaft, including an upper press head assembly, a guide assembly, and a support assembly;
[0007] The upper pressure head assembly includes a pressure rod and a pressure head, wherein the pressure head is disposed at the bottom of the pressure rod;
[0008] The guide assembly includes an inner bore guide rod, a guide seat, and a limiting pin. The inner bore guide rod is vertically fixed inside the guide seat, and the limiting pin is disposed on the side of the guide seat. The guide seat is used to guide the gear plate. The inner bore guide rod is used to guide the gear shaft.
[0009] The support assembly includes a support base and a return spring. The guide seat is disposed on the upper part of the support base, and the return spring is disposed between the bottom of the guide seat and the bottom of the support base.
[0010] The pressure rod drives the pressure head to press down on the end face of the gear shaft. The gear shaft pushes the guide seat down, compressing the return spring until the gear shaft and the end face of the gear are in contact, thus completing the press-fitting of the gear shaft and the gear.
[0011] Furthermore, the pressure head is a replaceable pressure head.
[0012] Furthermore, the guide seat is a hollow cylindrical structure, and a mounting base is horizontally arranged inside the guide seat. The mounting base is used to fix the guide rod of the shaft inner hole.
[0013] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the guide seat is smaller than the inner diameter of the gear.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the guide seat is smaller than the outer diameter of the gear shaft.
[0015] Furthermore, the guide rod inside the shaft is a cylindrical structure.
[0016] Furthermore, the diameter of the guide rod inside the shaft is smaller than the inner diameter of the gear shaft.
[0017] Furthermore, the top end of the guide rod in the inner hole of the shaft is a circular conical cap.
[0018] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the support seat is larger than the outer diameter of the guide seat, and it fits snugly against the guide seat.
[0019] Furthermore, the side of the support base is provided with a vertical limiting sliding hole for the limiting pin to slide up and down.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] This utility model discloses a tooling for press-fitting a gear and a gear shaft. The gear shaft is axially positioned by a guide rod within the shaft's inner hole, while the gear's mounting position is radially constrained by a guide seat, forming a dual positioning mechanism of "shaft-hole fit + seat guidance." This effectively prevents eccentricity or misalignment between the gear shaft and the gear during press-fitting. The return spring in the support assembly allows the guide seat to move downwards synchronously with the gear shaft during press-fitting. The spring force offsets some of the press-fitting impact, preventing tooth surface damage caused by rigid contact and improving assembly reliability. After press-fitting, removing the driving force of the pressure rod allows the return spring to automatically push the guide seat back, facilitating quick workpiece handling. When the return spring pushes the guide seat upwards, a limiting pin slides within the support seat, ensuring reset accuracy and eliminating the need for manual adjustment.
[0022] Furthermore, since the pressure head is a highly worn component that directly contacts the end face of the gear shaft, a detachable design allows for the replacement of only the pressure head itself, rather than the entire pressure rod, thus preventing the entire upper pressure head assembly from being scrapped due to localized wear. For gear shafts of different diameters, a series of pressure heads can be pre-fabricated, enabling rapid assembly. The replacement process does not require disassembling the pressure rod, eliminating the risk of stripped threads or loss of positioning accuracy due to repeated disassembly and assembly.
[0023] Furthermore, the hollow columnar structure of the guide seat ensures that the pressing force is evenly distributed along the circumference of the guide seat, avoiding local stress concentration. The guide rod in the inner hole of the shaft is fixed to the horizontal mounting base to resist lateral load. When the gear shaft moves down along the guide rod in the inner hole of the shaft, the guide seat sinks as a whole, ensuring that the gear and the gear shaft always move coaxially.
[0024] Furthermore, the cylindrical geometry of the guide rod inside the shaft provides a 360° uniformly distributed radial constraint force, eliminating stress concentration points of the polygonal guide rod and preventing scratches on the inner hole of the gear shaft; the round conical cap at the top eliminates the risk of sharp edges scratching the inner hole of the gear shaft, and when the gear shaft is detached after press-fitting, the chamfer of the conical cap avoids the "vacuum adsorption" effect.
[0025] Furthermore, the design of a support seat with an inner diameter larger than the guide seat's outer diameter, and a tight fit, forms a stable nested guide structure. During press-fitting, this structure effectively limits the radial offset of the guide seat, ensuring that the gear shaft and the gear remain coaxial in the vertical direction, significantly improving press-fitting accuracy and ensuring the smoothness and reliability of gear transmission. Simultaneously, the tight-fitting structural design enhances the overall rigidity of the tooling, preventing deformation caused by uneven stress and extending the tooling's service life.
[0026] Furthermore, the vertical limiting sliding hole on the side of the support provides a track for the limiting pin to slide up and down, allowing the limiting pin to flexibly adjust its limiting height according to the different thicknesses of the gears or the pressing stroke requirements. When changing gears of different specifications, operators do not need to disassemble or replace the limiting components; they can simply slide the limiting pin to quickly adjust the limiting position, significantly improving the tooling's adaptability to multiple parts and meeting the needs of small-batch, multi-variety production. In addition, the cooperation between the limiting sliding hole and the limiting pin further enhances the stability of the guide seat during the pressing process, preventing horizontal displacement and ensuring the safety and consistency of the pressing process.
